As far as a remake goes, I think the story should be the same, but I would like to see way more side quests with some of them giving more back story. Additional content downloads would be great as well. I think Square-Enix would be wise to not include voice acting. Playing through the original I made the voices myself in my head and I think a lot of fans would be alienated by different voices. They could use the disk real estate that they don't use for voice acting to better improve the graphics. Obviously they would need to redesign the menu system so that it has more organization and perhaps doing something different with the level advancement system to allow more customization. A battle system more like XII's would be a good addition, as random encounters have become overused and outdated. There you have it, my $0.02.
The thing I liked about the IV remake concerning story is that more story content was added. This wasn't like like bits here and there, but a large chunk concerning Golbez and Cecil. It didn't change the game at all, just more story. I bet they could do that if they needed to cut some story originally.

They'd probably add voice acting anyway. That space required on a Blu-Ray disc would be minute, and graphics could still be greatly improved with what is left over.

Concerning the XII battle system, I can guarantee that'd never happen. It is too drastic of a change, and wouldn't make much for a remake, if they're basically overhauling the game. If Square was listening to the fan base rather than the critics, we probably won't see the ADB again.
